Cartoon d’Or is the award for the best European animated short film of the year. Granted by CARTOON – European Association of Animation Film with the support of Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme, it rewards the best of the best, since only prize-winning films from major European festivals can compete. From this short list a jury of international experts selects five finalists and a winner. The Cartoon d’Or is awarded annually in September during the Cartoon Forum, the pitching and co-production forum for TV series. The Cartoon d’Or aims to act as a pipeline between short film directors and the industry, and to assist talented artists in starting new projects.
